Mad About Rock

  Off the back of their colossal, sold-out UK tour earlier this month, Scottish metal heavyweights Bleed From Within are pleased to announce an extensive run of intimate, headline shows for March 2026. This run will include Disembodied Tyrant and Baest as supports for most nights. Bleed From Within stated: "The Dying Sun tour is something we've been waiting to announce for a very long time. The plan was to get back to our roots and follow a similar kind of routing that we would have done back in our formative years. Between 2007 and 2010, we performed countless times across the country in these cities and it really helped cement the foundations of our band. The name of the tour is a nod to one of our favourite tracks from our latest album, but also a teaser of what people can expect to hear at the shows... we consider Dying Sun a deep cut and we've already discussed a number of other songs from our catalogue that we would love to bring to the stage that people will not hav...

  With their seismic debut album 'Deathwish' dropping Friday, 27th June, and a pummeling new single and video 'Backbone Of Existence' landing this week (see video below), PERPETUAL PARADOX are set to dominate the modern metal landscape. Forged in fury and driven by defiance, the band’s brand of heavyweight riffage and sonic hostility is impossible to ignore. We exclusively caught up with the Paradox crew as they gear up to unleash chaos, and they let us in on the tracks that have defined, inspired, and fueled 'Deathwish'. Ollie Miles (Lead Guitar): Bleed from Within - 'I am Damnation':    "I just love BFW, and this opener on their Shrine album is them at their best. The riffs are so catchy, and that middle interlude right before the outro, which is just a few lead notes on guitar, but placed so perfectly, ties it all together amazingly well. It's a style of dynamic I tried to emulate when writing for this album." Jorge Nuñes (Rhythm Guit...

  Just over a month away from the release of their new album Zenith on 4th April, Bleed From Within are giving fans one final taste of what to expect with the release of mammoth new single 'God Complex'. On 'God Complex', the band comment: "God Complex is the anthem on Zenith. We had a great time putting this together; not over thinking it and letting the groove carry the song. The song always stood out, but Kennedys vocal performance really pushed it to the forefront of the album. It's a song about ego and what it means to us, to you, to everyone. This industry is plagued by those who have a heightened version of themselves but even in every day life, it is clear to see those that put themselves above others."

Fresh off a monumental tour supporting genre greats SLIPKNOT across the UK and Europe, BLEED FROM WITHIN have released the video for their new single 'A Hope In Hell'. The latest cut from new album Zenith, that's set for release on the 4th April via Nuclear Blast Records, is a brooding, anthemic slab of the kind of cutting edge, modern metal than BLEED have become synonymous with. On the new single, the band comment: "A Hope In Hell" is one of the more melodic cuts from our latest album and one that we all connected with early in the writing process. The evolution of this song is a great indicator of what we've explored on our latest release; we've pushed ourselves melodically, but also found a dark and heavy groove that really underpins our sound. Looking at the lyrics, life doesn't get any easier and everyone you know is dealing with its challenges. We are caught in repeating cycles of adversity and hardship, but our perception can change once we acc...

  Metal powerhouse BLEED FROM WITHIN have announced their new album Zenith that's set to be released on the 4th April via Nuclear Blast Records. Alongside the announcement, the band have revealed the video for new single 'In Place Of Your Halo', a thunderous shot of modern metal fury that pays homage to their native Scotland with a bagpipe-backed refrain for the ages. On the news of their new album the band comment: "In Place Of Your Halo marks the beginning of the next chapter for Bleed From Within. It is an anthem for those that feel like life has passed them by, or those that have been held back by their own limitations. We are killing the older version of ourselves in order to grow. This develops our resilience, a topic that underpins this band's journey and most of what we shout about. We've not had it easy, but neither has anyone else. This song is for all of us. Through this growth, we come closer to our potential, our Zenith - the title of our 7th stud...

  Metal heavyweights BLEED FROM WITHIN have revealed the details of 'The Zenith Tour' for 2025. The newly announced string of dates for fall next year will see the band headlining the largest venues they have ever played across the UK & Europe, with support from AFTER THE BURIAL and GREAT AMERICAN GHOST. The band comments: "This is the tour we've been working towards for the last 3 years. The culmination of all our efforts. We've been the opening band in a lot of these rooms so finally making the step to headliner is something that we do not take lightly. We can not wait to bring our new headline set to some of our favourite venues in the world, alongside new music and our biggest touring production to date! To top things off, we have After The Burial and Great American Ghost joining us. We first toured with ATB in 2011 and have stayed friends ever since. We met Great American Ghost in 2024 and got on so well that we knew we had to bring them over to Europe. Ha...

  Following their triumphant start to 2024 which has seen Scottish pop-fueled post-hardcore outfit newshapes open up for both Atreyu and The Blackout, they today look at life after love with their new single ‘feel it’. The emphatic new single sees newshapes team up with Scott Kennedy of Scottish compatriots Bleed From Within in a track that shows off newshapes’ heaviest tendencies with a heartfelt flair. Speaking about ‘feel it’ newshapes vocalist Ian Mann comments, “After finishing our debut EP I felt like there were still a few things that I hadn’t quite managed to release from within myself, and continued writing to try and find words that would bring this creative chapter of the band to a close. ‘feel it’ is both a literal and spiritual successor to the emotions and thoughts explored during ‘i hope this finds you’, looking at a life beyond love after an EP that kind of tended to indulge feelings of heartbreak.” Bleed From Within vocalist Scott Kennedy speaks about featuring on ...

  Bleed From Within have had an extraordinary couple of years. In April they'll be hitting the road for a month-long USA and Canada tour with The Ghost Inside, Paleface and Great American Ghost, and are also looking ahead to a string of summer festival appearances including their Hellfest debut, Download Festival and Graspop, plus a couple of German shows with Shadow Of Intent, The Acacia Strain and Fuming Mouth. Not to mention that they'll be capping off this year in the finest way by playing as special guests to Slipknot across the UK and Europe, for Slipknot's 'Here Comes The Pain' tour celebrating the Iowan's 25th anniversary. Today, Bleed From Within have released an immense, high-energy video for their track 'Killing Time' made up of some touring highlights from the past few months. 'Killing Time' has become a set-list favourite throughout their recent runs, the track coming from their latest studio album Shrine. Watch the video for 'Ki...

  Bleed From Within have had an extraordinary year. They recently stepped off of the Lamb Of God Headbangers Boat cruise, following on from a colossal summer run which took in both headline shows, performances with Heaven Shall Burn and festival appearances at the likes of Brutal Assault (Czech Republic), Summer Breeze (Germany) and Alcatraz (Belgium), finishing up with a 13-date tour supporting Trivium across the UK. This was all on top of a hugely successful debut American tour earlier this year with August Burns Red and The Devil Wears Prada. Now today, Bleed From Within are pleased to announce that 2024 will be another extraordinary year. They have been announced as special guests to Slipknot on their upcoming UK and European tour, set to take place across December 2024. The run has been dubbed the 'Here Comes The Pain' tour, celebrating Slipknot's 25th anniversary. Bleed From Within stated: "Slipknot are a band that we all grew up listening to so when we got the c...
